1) Let f(x)=ax2+bx+c for some value of a, b and c. f intersects the x-axis when x=−2 or x=3, and f( 1 3 )=−25. Find the values o

f a, b and c and sketch the graph of f(x).
2) A right prism has a base that is an equilateral triangle. The height of the prism is equal to the height of the base. If the volume of the prism is 81, what are the lengths of the sides of the base?

Answer:

1) a = -⅙, b = ⅙, c = 1

2) 6 units

Step-by-step explanation:

1) f(x) = ax² + bx + c

Given the roots, we can write this as:

f(x) = a (x + 2) (x − 3)

We know that f(13) = -25, so we can plug this in to find a:

-25 = a (13 + 2) (13 − 3)

-25 = 150a

a = -⅙

Therefore, the factored form is:

f(x) = -⅙ (x + 2) (x − 3)

Distributing:

f(x) = -⅙ (x² − x − 6)

f(x) = -⅙ x² + ⅙ x + 1

2) Volume of a right prism is area of the base times the height.

V = Ah

The base is an equilateral triangle.  Area of a triangle is one half the base times height.

V = ½ ab h

The height of the triangle is the same as the height of the prism.

V = ½ bh²

In an equilateral triangle, the height is equal to half the base times the square root of 3.

V = ½ b (½√3 b)²

V = ⅜ b³

Given that V = 81, solve for b.

81 = ⅜ b³

216 = b³

b = 6

If snickers are sold in pack of 6 and kit Kats are sold in packs of 15 how many packs do you need to buy to have a equal amount
iragen [17]

Answer: 5 packs of Snickers and 2 packs of Kit Kats.


Step-by-step explanation: How? Okay so snickers come in packs of 6 to find the number that will be equal to Kit Kats you must figure out factors. 30 has a factor of 6 and 15. 5 packs of snickers will get you 30 total snickers. 2 packs of Kit Kats will get you a total of 30 Kit Kats. I hope this helped! (:

Is the graph a linear function, nonlinear function, or Relation ( non-function) ?
anastassius [24]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

Because each value of x maps onto only one value of y, it is a function.

However, because it is not the graph of a line, it is a nonlinear function.

If you answer this i will give you the BRAINLIEST Pls answer Asap
Eva8 [605]

Answer:

You know that negative 3 1/2 is the lowest number so you would put that first. The greatest number would be the coldest in Celsius, and 1/20 would be the last question (the sea level) if calculations are correct, you would get full credit.

Write an explicit formula for an , the nth term of the sequence 29, 19, 9, ....
Anna35 [415]

Answer:

a_{n} = 39 - 10n

Step-by-step explanation:

There is a common difference between consecutive terms , that is

19 - 29 = 9 - 19 = - 10

This indicates the sequence is arithmetic with nth term ( expicit formula )

a_{n} = a₁ + (n - 1)d

where a₁ is the first term and d the common difference

Here a₁ = 29 and d = - 10 , then

a_{n} = 29 - 10(n - 1) = 29 - 10n + 10 = 39 - 10n
